^ Listen to that guy.It is we can do a permanent suspension on MtGox. Abandoning the main exchanges, to whatever other alternatives, shall enhance our collective security and bring diversity to the marketplace. You should start getting more bossy, more choosy than OMG I hope they take my money! Lots of people want your money! You have options!It is really a case of getting your accounts frozen and payments stalled now or later. Choose now, and you get to walk away with your capital intact. I don't even care if you choose exchanges, just diversify to more than one outside of the main players. Being several different jurisdictions, it matters, it makes paperwork and expense for LE to follow. Ideally, go to OTC altogether and leave the exchange system. Slightly more expensive, but much more anonymous than any exchange could ever be, esp. for larger amounts. OTC just means trading with somebody else selling bitcoins directly instead of finding a centralized exchange. It is impossible to regulate OTC in any way, even making it illegal would be irrelevant. If the OTC market is built up, you'll have lots of 'trusted exchangers', who have a whole business of being middlemen, like an exchange, only that there's about ten thousand of them instead of < 100 exchanges. It's not like this is the future or something, this is already happening all over, specialization is becoming apparent. Spreads will be larger, but this way you save on anonymizing with a bitcoin laundry mechanism (typically 1% - 3%), so it comes out to be about the same, with the added advantage of superior anonymity.MtGox is representative of the exact system that we went to Bitcoin to get away from the petty restrictions!
